Business Booming.

No matter if people will per-
sist in saying it is a dull season,
it's patent to all that we are do
ing a rushing business. 1t is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the "Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
It has always been the aim
of J. G. Saur to save money for
his'customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the NLittle Dutch
: man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking Of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock Of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the ''Wall Paper King" "
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than neat pattern of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that .Saur car
ries the largest stock of Wall
Paper in this section Of country
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities,
and always gives his customers
the benefit Of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at
It is indeed astonishing that
such a small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and ado
so much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia.
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and

and colors, ready mixed or not
just to suit yourselves. This is

Emancipation in Brazil.

A large number Of planters in Brszn
have just been very neatly hoist with
their own petard. Two years ago law
was passed providing for the gradual
emancipation OF the slaves, Of whom the
empire still contains 8 large number.
One of the provisions of this law WIS
that every STAKEHOLDER should register the
number and individual value oihis slSVes,
and the period allowed for this Iegistra-
ton expired at the end of March last. On
the registers being oyerhauled it appeared
thst only q relatively small portion of the
slaves IN the country hsd been "decIared."
The bulk Of them has been omitted in
order that their owners might escape the
small registration fee to be paid on each
slave. AS many of the planters own large
numbers of slaves, the saving to them
was considerable. Every slave not
registered, however, becomes ex post
facto tree, and now there is crashing of
teeth in Brazil over the 200, 900 bondsmen
VINO will, it is feared, be manumitted by
reason Of this evasion Of the law. The
planters had counted upon the ignorance
OF the slaves not to claim their freedom,
but the Brazilian Sambo has. many
Intends. 1t appears, however, that most
OF the slaves who have SO fsr become en-
titled to their liberty, ere voluntarily re-

THE BOYS OF ETON.
Children of Royalty and Rank-rhe Boys
Who Are "Betters" of Everybod Else.
Adam Badeau's Letter.


The college, as it is called-a huge
school for boys-stsnds, as everybody
knows, under the castle walls of Windsor,
and the grounds stretch along the banks
OF the Thames, rivaling the royal Home

Humidity knocks Ga. the Piano.
New York Mail and Express.


Piano tuners, repairer5 and manutac-
turers are in high feather. The great
heat of the early summer and the recent
damp spell have been 8 great boom to
them. About tWo-thirds OF the instru-
ments belonging to persons who have
been out Of town during the heated term
will have to be overhauled or sent 10 the
hospital" thanks to the ignorance or
carelessness of the owners, while one
half OF the remaining third Will have to
be sold for junk. The careful housewife
did Mt forget to cover up her mirror
and fu niture, but the piano was neglect
ed. S snding in its corner, the costly
mammoth drank IN the dampness OF the
atmosphere until its strings were
rusted, and the cloth used in
the construction CT the hammers
and hampers were swelled to an extent
that affected the immediate action OF the
delicate mechanism, or caused the posts
to stick together and break. In many in
stances the continued humidity Of the
atmosphere, sitter disarrauging the
"innards" Of the piano, attacked the
case and seriously affected the polish,
besides forming ridges across the
sounding board.
81 never knew so hard summer on
pianos," said maker. "EYen the best
and nest expensive instruments hsve
suffered, those built of the most thor
oughlY seasoned materials being the
most seriously affected. In cases where
extraordinary precautions have been
taken, and the instruments
have suffered from the damp
ness particularly, the keys have turned q
deep yellow. While it is a good practice
to keep an instrument closed when
not in use, so that the mechanism may
not become impaired by dampness, still
it should be opened occasionally SO that
the daylight may strike the keys. II this
is not done they will always turn yellow
Moths will also find their way into an in
strument unless tits opened occasionally
Fully one-third of the work have had to
do on pianos this season has been to re-
pair the damage done by moths. Some
persons, however, kept the moths out by
wrapping piece Of camphor up in soft
pape- and'lsytng it on the key board"
